Easy slow cooker turkey noodle soup recipe, homemade with simple ingredients. Great use of Thanksgiving leftover turkey. Full of Italian herbs and egg noodles.
Heat oil and butter in a large nonstick pan and heat over medium-high heat.
Add onions, carrots, celery, garlic and saute for a few minutes until garlic is fragrant.
Transfer these veggies to a large crockpot (6 quart or larger).
Add broth, Italian seasoning, poultry seasoning, salt, pepper, bay leaf.
Mix until combined.
Cover and cook on High heat for about 1.5-2 hours or on Low heat for about 3-4 hours or until veggies are tender to your liking.
Add the leftover cooked turkey, egg noodles, frozen corn.
Mix everything together.
Optional step: This is a broth- based soup and thus, it is supposed to have a thin consistency but if you want to thicken it slightly, mix in cornstarch slurry.
Cover and cook on High heat for 20-30 minutes or until pasta is tender and cooked through
Discard the bay leaf.
Stir in lemon juice and garnish with green onions and enjoy!
Notes
If you are short on time, you can skip the "sauteing" step and just dump all the ingredients in the slow cooker.
Read all my tips above.
Tastes best when served immediately but leftovers can be stored in a sealed container in the fridge for up to 2 days. Additional broth will need to be added when reheating because the pasta absorbs a lot of the broth.
